Thoughts on Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw

Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw is a schlocky action movie that isn’t that great. The story is paper-thin and the dialogue is lazy. The stunts are cool when they are real. The fighting action, montages, and terrible music moments make it hard to watch. The villian is essentially a cyborg out to get a virus and the protagonists are the baddest dudes around to save the day. It is a movie made for kids who want to see a “grown up action movie.” The action goes on for so long, so often, that it becomes boring. Which is strange since the settings switch so often it is hard to remember what the central plot was. Even with a tacked on message about family, it rang as surface level and devoid of actual substance. See it if you saw the others in the franchise or you want to watch something thet requires little to no thinking.
